Finished writing the first draft of my screenplay. It is a spy thriller I've been thinking about for a while with a brainy heroine, a government conspiracy and some bad guys. No car chases. Not as many f-bombs as Wolf of Wall Street but a few. And I am going to put it away for a week. Not reread it at all. And then...start the painful process of rereading and rewriting the crappy parts.I have some brave friends who have volunteered to be beta readers and man, this isn't even ready for beta reading, but...the first draft is done. On a Venn diagram somewhere of "seeing your writing become a movie" there is a big circle of "thinking about writing it" and then a small circle of "writing screenplay" and then a really important smaller circle of "editing it so that it DOESN'T SUCK" and then a smaller one that is "getting an agent or producer to read it" and so on. So the optimist in me says, hey, I moved from a big circle to a smaller one. Woo hoo. And I had a 110 page conversation with my brainy bad ass heroine.This brand new screenplay of mine is a messy fledgling. We'll see.
